Bio
Laila Datoo
I was privileged to work alongside Gary as a director at Last Word and learnt a lot from him during that time. Gary is approachable, supportive and a great manager. He built a strong editorial team at Last Word and developed a loyal network of writers and designers. Gary was also a brilliant co-director - I could always count on him for sage advice, honest opinion and great humour. He's also one of the best event hosts I've worked with which made for some fun events!
